Check the area around this school
9th of 56 secondary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 70 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 639 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 6.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 57.1 · 77 | 30% | 2.31 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.14 · 39 | 25% | 0.98 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 53.0 · 80 | 10% | 0.80 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Endon High School
Overview
Endon High School is described as “inclusive, warm and welcoming,” with a culture underpinned by “curiosity, determination and kindness.” The report highlights an “ambitious and broad curriculum” and “exceptional personal development,” noting that pupils are “well-rounded individuals ready to face the future with confidence.”
Strengths
- The school provides “very effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND),” ensuring they follow the same broad curriculum as their peers.
- Teachers possess “strong subject expertise” and use technology confidently to help pupils “understand new concepts” and build on previous knowledge.
- The personal development programme is “exemplary,” offering pupils important knowledge on “healthy relationships, being tolerant and respectful, and keeping themselves safe.”
- Pupils display “positive attitudes towards their learning,” with “calm and orderly” behaviour in classrooms where low-level disruption is rare.
- Leaders have built “strong relationships with local employers” to provide pupils with “high-quality and meaningful experiences of the world of work.”
Areas to improve
- Teachers should ensure that “individual learning needs of all pupils are consistently met,” as some lessons are currently “either too difficult or too easy” for certain pupils.
- Leaders must ensure high expectations of behaviour are “clearly understood by all pupils” during social times, where a small minority do not meet standards.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
